Reading some of these marvelous descriptions of gift packages, I'm amazed
that they fit in the prescribed $10-$15 range! I think some of our
talented listmembers undervalued their abilities ;-)
I'm so dull. Two years now I have sent fabric. But very nice, useful
fabric.

We received our package from Susan Carroll-Clark a couple of weeks

fabric, beads, two Chinese ornaments (one knotwork and one a painted
plaque with tassels), and a pincushion of chinese men sitting around
a pillow. All very ni

Thanks Lalah I got mine a number of days ago. I got busy with all the

I got a book by JOhn Peacock---fashion sourcebooks titled the 1920's. It
has 295 illustrations. It is lovely.

I mailed mine on the 7th (the day before the deadline) and received one last
week. I tried to put that information on the list but got a message from the

Lalah,
Yes, thank you. I knew it looked familiar in the German styles. Its the fabric
over the hand part that rang the bell, along with the front lacing over a
placard. It makes me wonder why German styles, or Italian, but not French
styles considering they both spent time in France.

Some of the examples Elena showed appear to be fitted overgowns, not
supportive undergowns that would be worn over a chemise and potentially
under a more formal overdress.

Something I do see, however, is some gowns have something under the
lacings, or another colored gown under the laced gown. You show some
that are deliberatly widely spead as a style feature. But it fits
with MM being shown in "undress."
